Re: reimburse

Both are correct. The second is better, I think, since the real question is not whether we have the means to issue payment, but whether we have the desire to do so.

PS. Small point, but you may want to change "if" to "whether". That's the traditional way to introduce an indirect quesion with two possible outcomes. Today both "if" and "whether" are common enough to be acceptable.

Re: reimburse

I work for a Dutch insurance company and when speaking to English clients, we usually use 'reimburse' and 'reimbursement' when explaining how much money they will receive based on an estimate or after sending us an invoice. As for a sentence, I can imagine myself saying: "We will reimburse your dental treatment 75% up to a maximum of € 450,- per year. You will receive the reimbursement within ten days of invoicing."

Mind you, I'm not a native speaker. Cloggie through and through.

As far as your example goes, I would use "We will reimburse 75% of the cost of your dental treatment (up to a maximum of €450 per year). You will receive payment within ten days".

Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
